Thanks, you guys. Your kind words and encouragement mean a lot to me.
As far as the starting gate, the doors did not spring open at the gun. They were already open and we kind of walked/jogged through them. You can see the chip mat and the actual chip time started as each runner came out of the gate.
In regards to my negative split, how does that mean I might have a bigger pr in the future?
thanks again.
Good job Jack. Very impressive speed.
Jack what an outstanding race, you and your DD are a couple of thoroughbreds.

Awesome job on the 5k and setting a new PR. Your really quick man. If we ever have the chance to run the same race it deffinitely would not be together, all I would see is your trail of dust...

Mmmmm...beer
Way to go Jack! You've got me beat by 2 seconds, gonna have to step up my game.
I think Awood's right, looks like you may have held back a lil with how much you had left in mile 3, I smell a sub-20 with more even pacing. The starting gates are awesome! Congrats to DD and DW too!

Nice going Jack. I bet the horses are jealous.

Nice job! Great report especially with pictures! I ran that race once! I'm not allergic usually but something about that course...winding through the Arboretum on a spring day with all the plants and trees in bloom, continuing through the track stables with horses and hay (and jockeys!) everywhere, finishing on the track covered in alfalfa and some kind of wood chip? Yeah, I swelled up like a balloon and couldn't see or breathe by the end.
I'm glad you weren't affected!
